If you're impatient, plenty of fab houses (like JLCPCB) will do all the soldering for you, for about 0.1 cents per SMD joint or 2 cents per THT joint...

I enjoy soldering, and like your comparisons. Yet I certainly don't blame the author for highlighting how unhealthy it is.

Nice iron,a good clamping set-up, and a high-quality correctly specked (to the task) solder make all the difference
